SWAMI VIVEKANADA REPLY TO A CHRISTIAN ON MAKING FUN OF BHAGWAD GITA :
In the United States, a Christian had invited Swami Vivekananda to his home with the intention to mock the Swami's religiosity. He welcomed the Swami at home and showed the latter his book rack. He pointed towards a pile of books which were placed in such a way that the Bhagavad Githa was placed at the bottom of the pile, followed by other religious books and the Bible was placed at the top of the pile.
He then questioned the Swami, "I usually do my reading here. Don't you like the way I arranged my books?"
The Swami replied, "I sure do. The books are very organized and arranged neatly. The ones on the top stand firmly because the foundation is exceedingly strong."
